Alipay: the E-Commerce Dragon Beyond the Great Wall

Description

China’s e-commerce leader has big ambitions. Since its launch in 2004, Alipay has quickly become China’s most popular third-party online payment service. With a commanding market share in place, Alipay has looked to diversify beyond online transactions in China. Alipay recently revamped its mobile payment solution, and the company seeks to enter new foreign markets. There is little doubt that Alipay is positioning itself to be a global leader in online payment services.

Alipay: The E-Commerce Dragon Beyond the Great Wall An e-commerce giant within China, Alipay, the third-party payment service provided by the Alibaba Group, has shown unparalleled growth in the online payment space as Chinese consumers increasingly gain access to the Internet and online retailers. Since its launch in 2004, Alipay has seen the number of registered users soar to almost 900 million in 2013 according to Mercator Advisory Group estimate. 2014 Mercator Advisory Group

Alipay: The E-Commerce Dragon Beyond the Great Wall To expand beyond the online marketplace, Alipay in 2013 revamped its mobile wallet solution to facilitate mobile payments at the physical point of sale. The expansion into mobile payments has been widely successful. In early 2014, Alipay reported processing nearly $150 billion in mobile transactions in 2013, dwarfing PayPal’s reported $27 billion in the same year. Alipay is also seeking to expand geographically. In 2014 and beyond Alipay will be deployed in a number of countries with large Chinese populations like Taiwan and Singapore, with a full-scale global rollout possible down the road.

Tristan Hugo-Webb Associate Director International Advisory Service Mercator Advisory Group “The outlook for Alipay is extremely positive as each year tens of millions of Chinese citizens access the Internet for the first time and more often than not also create Alipay accounts and use Alipay to purchase goods and services online. Apparently not content with controlling China’s e-commerce market, Alipay has begun investing in expanding its presence into the mobile channel as mobile payment opportunities rapidly develop in China. Furthermore, as Chinese political and economic influence grows around the world, the Alibaba Group and Alipay will be more active in providing payment services outside of China’s traditional sphere of influence,” comments Tristan Hugo-Webb, Associate Director, International Advisory Service at Mercator Advisory Group and the primary author of the Research Note. 2014 Mercator Advisory Group
